A Discussion of the Repertoire that will be performed by the THSO during Rach’s third on November 1, 2025.

Friday, October 24, 2025

1:00pm to 2:30pm at the ISU Cunningham Memorial Library, Room 028

Join members of the Terre Haute Symphony Orchestra, as they preview their November 1 performance, Rach’s Third! Renowned for her technical prowess and emotive playing, world-class pianist Fei-Fei brings “Rach 3” to life with passion and precision. Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 9 highlights the virtuosity of our THSO musicians in this witty and satirical work that was despised and censured by Soviet critics after its premiere. Valerie Coleman’s Seven O’Clock Shout provides an uplifting opener inspired by the tireless efforts of frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Repertoire to be previewed

Valerie Coleman - Seven O’Clock Shout

Dmitri Shostakovich - Symphony No. 9

Sergei Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto No. 3

This presentation is free to patrons attending the concert on November 1, 2025!
